Healthy Grill Up

If you like a fry-up, changing the way you cook it can make it healthier. Grilling uses no added fat and lots of the fat in the food drains away.

Grilling food is a healthy alternative to frying as it uses no fat or oil.

What You Need

Lean bacon (one rasher per person)

Fat reduced meat or vegetarian sausages (one per person)

Eggs (one per person)

Washed Mushrooms (as many as you like)

Tomatoes tinned (1/3 of can) or fresh (1-2) medium tomatoes

Semi-skimmed milk

Wholemeal bread or high fibre white bread

How To Make It

Remove the rind from the bacon.

Pierce sausage on all sides with a fork to allow fat to run out.

Cook sausages and bacon and tomato halves under the grill. Sausages will take about 10-15 minutes longer to cook than the bacon.

Toast the bread and spread lightly with margarine.

Prepare mushrooms after washing by cutting into quarters. Cook in a pan in a small amount of water over a low heat for 5-10 minutes.

Add a little water to the bottom of a frying pan, heat up the water on a medium heat. Crack your egg and add to the pan as you would an ordinary fried egg. Place a lid over the egg and let the steam do the work!

Alternatively for scrambled eggs, break eggs into a bowl and mix together with a beater. Add 2 tablespoons of semi-skimmed milk per egg. Then tip into a non-stick pan and cook over a low heat, stirring until almost set.

Assemble “grill up”, taking care to use kitchen paper to dry off any excess fat from sausages and bacon.
